The Stroud Area Regional Police Department responded to a report of an armed robbery at 10:45 p.m. Friday at the Pump and Pantry, 1229 W. Main St., Stroudsburg.

According to police, Justin Greg Simpson, 22, allegedly entered the store wearing a brownish-colored hoodie pulled up over his head. He approached the store clerk and demanded the cash drawer money. Simpson had a hand inside of the hoodie pocket, which made it appear to the clerk that he possessed a weapon, police said. He then fled the store east on West Main Street with an undisclosed amount of money.

Police quickly determined the suspect to be Simpson, and a warrant for his arrest was issued. Anyone with information on Simpson’s whereabouts are asked to contact the Stroud Area Regional Police Department at 570-421-6800 or call the Monroe County Control Center. Due to the circumstances of this crime, Simpson should be considered armed.

Simpson is described as a 5-foot, 5-inches-tall black male with brown hair and brown eyes, and does have a prior arrest. He was born in New York City, but no current address was provided.
